Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1567 Family Love
The conditions sound a little scary...

How does "Hundred Knights" exist?Your Majesty's eyes, ears and minions!To be caught and dealt with by the "Baiqisi" is tantamount to falling into His Majesty's eyes. Just thinking about it will make ordinary merchants tremble with fear and be frightened to death!

However, the nature of merchants is profit-seeking. In the face of profits, they are always willing to take risks... Besides, as long as they manage paper books obediently and do not raise prices privately, His Majesty will only reward him, so why not for no reason? What about punishment?

At that moment, the merchants who were stunned by the title of "Hundred Knights" quickly made a decision...

"We are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and it is our duty to revitalize the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and it is our duty!"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and it is our honor to be able to contribute to Datang under the leadership of King Wei!"

"I would like to do my best for His Majesty, and die for myself!"

……

At present, any danger can be ignored.

The old man was very satisfied, nodded his head and said: "Even so, I will invite you all to come to the pier the day after tomorrow and sign a contract to join the Datang Culture Promotion Association. It's not early today, everyone will be gone, and this old man has to unload these papers. Once the ship is in storage, I won’t bother you.”

"Good talk, good talk."

"We will definitely come at that time."

"Farewell now."

A group of merchants left one after another, and returned to their residences excitedly, considering which low-priced goods to buy after signing the contract, and how much profit they could generate after they were shipped back...

Li Tai's face was gloomy, seeing the crowd slowly disperse, he also led the guards to leave.

He was no longer in the mood to continue shopping, and out of nowhere, Lao Shizi came out with the title of "President", which made him feel a little confused...

Back at the post station, after washing up, he had a simple dinner, then put on his clothes and lay down, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, his eyes were staring at the beams, and his mind was full of thoughts.

It is the most sacred yearning in every scholar's heart to preach the word to dispel doubts and educate the world. Even though this yearning is often tarnished and hidden by fame and fortune, it never disappears.

Li Tai is also a scholar.

Maybe his poems and songs are not as good as Fang Jun, but with the Confucianism in the Four Books and Five Classics, Li Tai is confident that he is not only better than Fang Jun, but even many contemporary Confucians are willing to bow down.

Military generals are about to conquer the world, but in the end, civil officials are still going to rule the world. Although the Tang Dynasty has a strong style of martial arts, in the final analysis, the world is still governed by civil officials.If one can become the chairman of the "Datang Culture Promotion Association", it is equivalent to taking on the important task of educating the world, naturally standing on the commanding heights of the world's literati, leading the group, fame, and real power.

Listening to the old man's words, this matter does not seem to be boasting, but how could the father agree to let him take such an important position?

As the leader of the world's literati, he has influence in the court. Could it be that the father is dissatisfied with the crown prince and wants to train himself to replace him...

For a moment, Li Tai was excited, apprehensive, and puzzled, staring at the beam all night without sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tai, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, yawned profusely, packed up his breakfast, and then went to the city to report to His Majesty Li Er.

*****
The soldiers coming out of the city gate are still under martial law, and it is not strictly forbidden to enter and leave the city. The knowledge encumbrance is several times stricter than usual, but any soldiers who look dangerous or displeased are prohibited from entering and leaving, causing complaints from inside and outside the city gate ...

Li Tai led a group of imperial guards on horseback to the gate of the city, and ordered the chief of the imperial guards to hand over the official seal. When the guards saw him, they hurried out of the way, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison: "See you, Wei Wei!" His Royal Highness..."

Li Tai nodded slightly, and rode his horse into the city.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who used to be domineering and domineering, has gained a bit of rare stability after being tempered by the wars in the Western Regions...

At the gate of the Tai Chi Palace, there was a servant standing there who had received the news of King Wei's return to the capital. Seeing King Wei riding from a distance, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute.

But when they got close, they all froze...

Is this still His Royal Highness King Wei who was white, tender and fat, with a fat waist and belly?

In the past, her fair and tender face was stained with wind and frost, her skin darkened a lot, and her fat body lost a lot of weight. Sitting upright on a horse, she no longer had that unrestrained flamboyance, but was more calm and serious. Between looking around, her eyes were sharp. pressing……

The servants were shocked, what the hell kind of place is the Western Region, to toss the fat and white His Royal Highness King Wei into such a state.

Now, if you want to get back to nothing and get fat again, then you have to put in a bit of effort...

Li Tai got off his horse with a vigorous figure, handed the reins to the guards beside him, and strode into the Chengtian Gate with his head held high.

The red walls and black tiles are resplendent and resplendent, and a strong and thick emperor's air rushes towards us!

Li Tai sighed slightly, after being away for so many days, it was like a dream, returning to this majestic Tai Chi Palace again, since it seems like a lifetime...

There is a servant leading the way in front, and they come straight to Shujing Hall.

Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For some reason, when he passed by the Tai Chi Hall and looked at the majestic roof of the palace, he actually felt a little depressed...

Could it be that after galloping on horses in the Western Regions for a long time, I can no longer bear such a life like being confined?
Thinking of this, he thought of the childish slave who had been imprisoned by his father, and sighed slightly in his heart...

Inside the Shujing Hall, the doors and windows were open, and as soon as Li Taifu stepped inside, he could smell a delicate and timeless tea fragrance. Looking through the open window, he could see the rippling lake water behind the hall, and the green lotus and white birds on the lake.

In the hall, a Persian rug is spread in the middle of the shiny floor, and a tea set and several exquisite snacks are placed on a low table.

His Majesty Li Er sat behind the short table, looking at his son who had returned from the expedition with a pair of tiger eyes, with a gratified smile on his face.

Princess Changle, who was dressed in purple palace attire, bowed down and said softly, "My sister welcomes my brother to return in triumph!"

Li Tai shook his sleeves, and returned the gift with a smile: "Thank you my sister... It's been a long time since I saw her, but my sister has become more and more beautiful. I am very happy for my brother."

Princess Changle pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were gentle: "Is fourth brother making fun of younger sister?"

Li Tai smiled and said: "The words from the heart are absolutely true."

After chatting and joking with Princess Changle, I turned to His Majesty Li Er, kowtowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "My son was ordered by the emperor to conquer the rebels in the Western Regions. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order. I will return to Beijing today to see my father."

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand with a smile, pulled Li Tai up, let him sit in front of him, took a closer look, nodded and said: "It's dark and thin, but it looks fuller, and it's not perfect , This trip to the Western Regions, with swords, spears and bloody conquests, seems to be of great benefit to my son, very good, very good!"

Li Tai smiled and said: "Father is absurd. It is true that thousands of miles of conquests are true, but where are the swords and blood? The British prince tied his sons and ministers by his side like babies all day long. I can't even take a look at the battlefield. Erchen is black and thin, but it has nothing to do with fighting, but it is caused by galloping horses every day. The Western Regions are vast, and grasslands are everywhere in the Gobi. I feel that the sky is high, the earth is generous, the heart is comfortable and the mind is happy... By the way, the minister knows that the emperor loves horses, so he collected a batch of Dawan good horses, all of which are abnormal, and sent them back to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the emperor will see if he is satisfied."

As he said that, he turned his head and said to Princess Changle: "My brother also found a maroon sweat horse for my sister, which is priceless. When my sister has nothing to do, I can ride it outside the city. Don't stay in the palace all day. You should go out to get some fresh air, which is good for your body and mind.”

Princess Changle was very interested, and asked, "Is it purebred?"

Bloody sweat horses are rare, and purebred sweaty blood horses are even rarer. The price is comparable to gold. Even His Majesty Li Er, who is the emperor, does not have a purebred sweaty blood horse in the stables. There are quite a few good horses in Dawan.

Li Tai proudly said: "What are you talking about? How long have you been perfunctory to give something to your sister? Either don't give it, or give it away is the best! This horse is regarded as a treasure by King Wusun, and he can't wait to sleep They were all exposed, when Brother Wei led the horse away in front of him, that old guy almost cried!"

Princess Changle has fed and brushed his beloved horses with her father since she was a child, so she also loves horses very much. At this moment, she smiled and said: "A gentleman does not take away people's love, how can fourth brother do this? Later sister will go and see Look, I haven't seen a thoroughbred sweathorse yet..."

His Majesty Li Er watched with a smile, feeling very pleased in his heart.

If his sons and daughters could let go of their obsessions and be as harmonious, friendly, brotherly and respectful as they are now, what would Erfu Li ask for?
However, the reality always fails to meet people's wishes...

Princess Changle poured tea for Li Tai with a smile, Li Tai thanked her, took a sip lightly, let out a sigh of relief, then sat upright and looked at His Majesty Li Er.

"Father, what is the 'Datang Culture Promotion Association'...what's going on?"

His Majesty Li Er's expression froze, and he gently squeezed the teacup in his hand.

His son just went on an expedition to the Western Regions for the empire, and the dust has not been washed away, but he is already thinking of persuading him to be a wealthy and idle king. Apart from guilt, His Majesty Li Er is really helpless.

This matter has just been put on the agenda, but he didn't want Li Tai who just returned to Beijing to know about it. His Majesty Li Er was thinking about how to say it, so as to dispel the resentment in his son's heart...
